Jeanette Hunt Blair Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Friends of the Jeanette Hunt (Blair) Animal Shelter is dedicated to promoting the humane treatment of companion animals and increasing pet adoptions across Washington County. We are here to support our community by providing a safe, healthy, and friendly environment for animals in need of their forever homes.
Our Commitment to the Community
Our non-profit organization was established to assist the Jeanette Hunt (Blair) Animal Shelter in addressing needs that go above and beyond the city’s budget. By educating the public on responsible pet ownership and supporting local animal welfare, we strive to reduce the number of injured animals and ensure every pet receives the care they deserve.
How We Operate
Our shelter functions as a vital hub for animal care, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who serve as dog walkers, foster care providers, and animal caregivers. We also operate a pet food program for local residents in need, ensuring that the bond between people and their pets remains strong during challenging times.
Find Your New Best Friend
As the saying goes, those who say money cannot buy happiness have likely never paid an adoption fee. We take pride in facilitating meaningful, lifelong connections between our shelter animals and local families. By choosing adoption, you are not only gaining a loyal companion but also helping us continue our mission of providing second chances to animals throughout Nebraska.
Get Involved
Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer your time, or contribute to our wish list, there are many ways to make a lasting difference. We invite you to visit us at our facility in Blair, explore our current adoption applications, or reach out to our team at (402) 533-2743 to learn how you can help support our mission today.
